yeah, they are a few bucks cheaper but still expensive, man it seemed like not too long ago the G6 came out, now they are up to G8, what the hell is hyperion doing, didnt they come out with there current batteries in 2009 or 2010?

Will be interesting to see if they actually perform better and the G8 / 70C label is not just clever marketing. From various tests that I've seen, the G6 65C performed no better than the G6 45C and in some cases even performed worse, indicating that the marketing department was busier than the engineering department...

With gens price increase these packs have become really attractive to me now.

Really? They still are not anywhere near the same price classes.

Got an e-mail from AMainHobbies that the G6 are 10% off. Not sure I'd bite on that though since the G8 seem to be between 5% and 10% off the G6 prices so not really saving much money by getting previous gen.
